Regardless of whether you loved or loathed Justice League, pretty much everyone can agree that Steppenwolf looked horrendous. Well, this new concept art shows a much different take on the villain...

Steppenwolf was one of the worst parts of Justice League solely because of how terrible he looked (like Superman's CGI jaw). It's even been reported that Warner Bros. realised early on that director Zack Snyder had made a mistake by deciding to use a villain who was fully animated and while he looks ok in some scenes, extensive reshoots meant that he stood out like a sore thumb in many, many others.

Now, a newly surfaced piece of concept art reveals just how different the villain - played by Ciaran Hinds - could have looked. Needless to say, his armour would have been a lot more intricate and his face...well, it's a lot more terrifying and nowhere near as cartoonish as what ended up on screen.

Of course, Steppenwolf's appearance really wouldn't have made that much of a difference in the long run as the villain as a whole was somewhat problematic and the DC Comics adaptation sadly faced a lot of other challenges as well. What do you guys think of this alternate take? Let us know down below.
